DotF: Garcia homers, Charleston clinches a postseason spot

In case you missed it earlier, the Yankees acquired C Erik Kratz from the Indians for cash. He’s been assigned to Triple-A Scranton. Two other catcher notes from ConorFoley: C Wilkin Castillo (knee) was placed on the Triple-A disabled list and C Kyle Higashioka (shoulder) was healthy enough to take batting practice today. That’s good.

RHP Chance Adams: 5.2 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 6 K, 5/3 GB/FB — 65 of 102 pitches were strikes (64%) … this was his final start of the regular season … he finishes the year with a 2.45 ERA and a 135/58 K/BB in 150.1 innings … he had a 144/39 K/BB in 127.1 innings last year

Double-A Trenton (3-2 win over Bowie) they are now 90-46 … only two teams in pro baseball have 90 wins this year: the Dodgers (91-41) and the Thunder (90-46)

High-A Tampa Game Two was postponed. They’re playing Lakeland through the weekend, so I’m sure they’ll play a doubleheader at some point.

Low-A Charleston (10-5 win over Hickory) the win clinches a postseason spot … six of the eight affiliates are going to the postseason, and a seventh will clinch a spot any day now

1B Brandon Wagner: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K

RF Isiah Gilliam: 2-3, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 CS

DH Dermis Garcia: 1-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 3 K — 17 homers in 60 games now … even though he didn’t play his first game until late-June, he’s currently third in the system in homers … only Cave and 1B Mike Ford have more (20 each)
